The Rowan Trees Berry and Apple Jelly Jam is served at a good Teahouse - used as to resist or remove poison damage.
Folk belief in apotropaic powers of the rowan-tree, in particular in the warding off of Fey Hags. In Kutloc especially, the tree is often planted near a gate or front door.
The birds' droppings which contain rowan seeds, and if such droppings land in a fork or hole where old leaves have accumulated on a larger tree, such as an oak or a maple, they may result in a rowan growing as an epiphyte on the larger tree. Such a Rowan Tree is called a "flying rowan" and was thought of as especially potent against Fey, Hags and black magic, and as a counter-charm against certain Types of Magic.
Rowan trees wood can be turned into stakes to stab Vampires - it will kill them.
The settlement of Thysine in The Feywild Realm, has elegant buildings created by the Eladrin Elves, with the extremely large, still-growing Rowan Trees.
LEAVES
Rowan Trees are unrelated to the true Ash trees, though their leaves are superficially similar. Rowan leaves are arranged alternately, and are pinnate, with 11–35 leaflets. A terminal leaflet is always present.FLOWERS
The flowers are borne in dense corymbs; each flower is creamy white, and 5–10 mm across with five petals.FRUIT
The fruit is a small pome 4–8 mm diameter, bright orange or red in most species, but pink, yellow or white in some exotic species. The fruit are soft and juicy, which makes them a very good food for birds, particularly waxwings and thrushes, which then distribute the rowan seeds in their droppings. Due to their small size the fruits are often referred to as berries, but a true berry is a simple fruit produced from a single ovary, whereas a pome is an accessory fruit.The Rowan Trees Berry and Apple Jelly Jam is served at a good Teahouse - used as to resist or remove poison damage.
